Here's a fresh conversation I had with legendary Manchester United right back Gary Neville. Neville, who recently retired during the Red Devils' record 19th English League championship season, touches on various subjects including: the team's upcoming Chicago visit versus the Fire, being replaced on the team by Brazilian twins Fabio and Rafael, and United's always evolving future that includes some quite mouth-watering transfer targets in the 2011 off-season.

 I think it's (comedy) harder for women because comedy is so opposite of being ladylike. " Wanda Sykes
"Okay, who wants to be the human bowling ball?" Warren Sundt, Owner/Manager, Vernon Hills Capitals semi-pro ice hockey team
I don't think that the Vernon Hills city fathers had it planned quite this way, but the Zanie's Comedy Club and the Glacier Ice Arena are located less than a mile from each other. I think the two worlds of Vernon Hills came together on Saturday night, December 18. For me, it proved a pivotal point in my comedy...uh...sports broadcasting career. ComedySports? You bet! The boys-- Les Grobstein and Steve Leventhal-- and yours truly of the Weekend Sports Report--were invited to be the guest "entertainment" during intermissions at the Glacier Ice Arena. I love minor-league sports for the very reason we were there... promotions are creative, crowds are lively and the action is always impassioned against rivals who play simply for the love of the game.

I am the type of sports fan that normally enjoys hard hits and fast moving plays. So when asked if I would like to cover the 2011 BMW open at Cog Hill in Lemont IL, I took the challenge in learning a sport that I never paid much attention to. The most I ever experienced of the sport was a driving range and a putt-putt course with a clown head at the end of it. So you can see this was way out of my element.
Saturday was the third round of a four round tournament. The players and spectators couldn’t have asked for a more perfect weather day to play.
Grabbing a favorite beverage, I proceeded to walk the course. There are two ways to watch a golf tournament. One being, follow your favorite player from hole to hole supporting them through it all. The second, which seems to be the favorite among the spectators, is to camp out at one hole and then you get to see them all.
I began to follow Y.E. Yang, the 5’9” south Korean pro through the course. He finished the day at one under par. Moving from hole seventeen to the eighteen, I was able to watch as the top three players, Rose, Wilson, and Simpson finish their round. It was obvious the amount of skill and athleticism that is required to play the game of golf.
Each player has his own style in playing this game. Webb Simpson takes a long time to tee off, while Rose and Wilson appear to not think as much and just hit their shots.
At the end of the day, Rose finished two under par, Simpson finished two over par, and Wilson six over for the day.
When all is said and done I was glad I experienced this tournament at Cog Hill because this is the last year it will be played here.
There are so many positives to this sport - great family time, exercise, and beautiful surroundings. However, I am not quite ready to convert. Give me the hard hits and quick play of football or hockey.
For more information on the players and their standings you can visit www.pgatour.com.
Editor’s note: On Sunday, Rose won the tournament by two shots over John Senden.

The lights go out. The crowd roars. The arena is lit merely by the lasers and graphics playing on the scoreboard hung above midfield. Fan Appreciation Night is underway at Allstate Arena as the Chicago Rush host the Dallas Vigilantes. Judging by the applause during pre-game introductions, the crowd deserves a night of their own
